Flabébé (Japanese: フラベベ Flabebe) is a Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
It evolves into Floette starting at level 19, which evolves into Florges when exposed to a Shiny Stone. Flabébé also has five separate forms, each named for the color of its flower: Red Flower, Yellow Flower, Orange Flower, Blue Flower, and White Flower.
Biology
Flabébé is a small Pokémon with a white upper half and a green lower half. It has beady eyes, a pink blush mark on each cheek, long, notched ears, and a small, pointed nose. On top of its head are several spheres of pollen that form a crown. It has stubby arms and a tail, but no visible legs. Flabébé is a female-only species with no male counterpart. It is one of the shortest and lightest Pokémon in existence.
Flabébé is usually seen holding the yellow stigma of a flower, called a “Fairy Flower” in the anime. The flower has three stamens and rounded petals that can be red, yellow, orange, blue, or white. It also has a short green stem with three small leaves. Its crown is made from the flower's pollen, which has healing properties. Flabébé can control and draw power out of the flower but is unsafe without it. However, it will continue searching until it finds a flower that it likes. Once it does, Flabébé will spend the rest of its life taking care of that flower. The anime has shown that if one of the petals on a Flabébé's flower falls off, it will be unable to float around.
Prior to Generation VII, Flabébé and its evolved forms were the only known Pokémon that could have Flower Veil and Symbiosis as Abilities.
Forms
Flabébé has five separate forms: Red Flower, Yellow Flower, Orange Flower, Blue Flower, and White Flower.
According to Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster and Gurkinn in A Festival Reunion!, White Flower Flabébé is particularly rare and difficult to find.

Form data
Flabébé have five separate forms, each with one of five different flower colors: red, yellow, orange, blue, and white. The flower color is maintained through evolution into Floette and then Florges, and cannot be changed.
In Pokémon X and Y, Flabébé appear in the wild in flowers, with the colors of Flabébé's flower available depending on the flower patch (although each flower patch has multiple Flabébé flower colors).
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, wild Yellow Flower Flabébé appear in Melemele Meadow, with Orange and White Flower Flabébé appearing when called as allies in an SOS Battle. Red and Blue Flower Flabébé can be obtained by breeding Floette. Red Flower Floette appear in Ula'ula Meadow, Orange and White Flower Floette appear when called as allies in an SOS Battle, and wild Blue Flower Floette appear in Poni Meadow and do not call for help.
Hatched Flabébé have the same color flower as their mother, or the same form as the Flabébé, Floette, or Florges parent if bred with Ditto.
In Generation VI, as only Red, Yellow, and Blue Flower Floette can be caught in the Friend Safari, it is impossible to obtain a White or Orange Flower Flabébé, Floette, or Florges with the Hidden Ability Symbiosis. In Generation VII, all forms of the Flabébé evolutionary line can have their Hidden Ability, though the Blue Flower forms cannot be caught with it and must be transferred with it from a prior game in order to have it.

Trivia
Origin
Flabébé appears to be based on fairies and nymphs, in particular Antheia due to its flower wreath-like "crown" upon its head, as well as possibly Chloris. It may have also been inspired by the concept of insect pollination, considering its small stature and grasp upon the flower's female organ, the stigma - its wreath also resembles the clumps of pollen that gathers on the bodies of pollinator insects.
Name origin
Flabébé may be a combination of フラワー flower and bébé (French for baby).
